Alongside the Pittsburgh Technology Council, PACT rallied eight tech execs from the Philly area and headed to Harrisburg last Tuesday. The goal? Speaking out against the proposed rehashing of a six-percent sales tax on computer services and software found in the commonwealth’s latest budget proposal.

Here’s the list of Philly folks that headed to the capitol (including more than a couple familiar names):

Chris Cera, Arcweb Technologies

Rich Napoli, ObjectFrontier

Chris Schalleur, Christo IT Consulting

Alex Urevick-Ackelsberg, ZivTech

Lauren Schwartz, TechWise Group

Greg Sterndale, PromptWorks

Dawn McDougall, Operations Manager, PromptWorks

Matthew Donegan, Senior Technical Architect, Strava Technology Group

“PACT opposes the proposed Pennsylvania Technology Tax,” Miller said. “If adopted, this tax will impact nearly every business in the Commonwealth. We are in collaboration with the Pittsburgh Technology Council in the effort to fight against this proposal. We encourage PACT members to contact their local state legislators to show support in opposition of the newly proposed tech tax by sending letters and direct calls.”
